Project Overview A. Project Description This project includes the renovation of the Library located within the Agriculture Administration Building located at 2120 Fyffe Road and is a joint venture between University Libraries and the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CFAES). The re-envisioned Student Success Center will be a facility that will be transformed into a resource rich academic space with social interaction that will take an existing aging facility into a multi-functional and competitive 21 st century library. The current library provides excellent online resources and services to its students but the facility itself does not directly support these functions. There are a number of key elements to consider as part of the transformation of this space including an open, identifiable and inviting entry, a coffee café, group study rooms, new flexible / comfortable furnishings, zones to allow for quiet and loud types of learning, display areas, natural light, accessibility and infrastructure upgrades (power distribution, technology support, vertical transportation, lighting upgrades, HVAC replacement serving this space only) to support the renovation. A major vision goal is to plan for changing media types and a diverse range of learning methods. Students from the CFAES program will be involved in the creative process through the construction phases. Although the project is not required to meet LEED certification it is an important goal of the College to respect the environment with green building practices. The building will be fully occupied during construction; phasing and staging of activities will be carefully planned. Vehicular and pedestrian traffic shall be maintained at all times as well as ADA access to the existing facilities. Professional design services are being acquired by the Owner under a separate contract. A study was completed to identify the scope and cost of this project, the project is based on Option 2A of the Feasibility Study. The study can be found in the following location: This project will utilize the Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) project delivery method. State Prevailing Wage requirements apply to this project. All aspects of the project and related issues will be implemented and operated consistent with the Owner s policies and procedures. B. Scope of Services The selected Construction Manager at Risk (CMR), as a portion of its required Scope of Services and prior to submitting its proposal, will discuss and clarify with the Owner, the breakdown of the Agreement detailed cost components, to address the Owner s project requirements and refine the project schedule. As required by the Agreement, and as properly authorized, provide the following categories of services: provide constructability review comments on documents produced by the A/E during the Schematic Design, Design Development, and Construction Document stages; develop and maintain estimates of probable construction cost, value engineering, project schedules, and construction schedules; lead and manage the Subcontractor Prequalification and Bidding process, Construction and Closeout Stage.

A copy of the standard Agreement can be obtained at the OFCC website at The preconstruction and construction services are generally described below. Subcontracts including but not limited to Plumbing, Fire Protection, HVAC, Electrical and AV/Technology will be awarded by the CMR to prequalified vendors using a competitive process. The parties will engage in an "open book" pricing method in which all subcontracted work shall be based upon competitive pricing that will be reviewed by the Owner, the A/E and the CMR. The Owner shall have access to all books, records, documents and other data in the CMR's possession related to itself, its subcontractors and material suppliers pertaining to bidding, pricing or performance of the Agreement. Preconstruction Services: The CMR will work cooperatively with the Owner, A/E and Project Team, and will provide, among other services, cost estimating, budgeting, value engineering, constructability review, scheduling and preconstruction planning throughout the preconstruction stages. When the drawings and specifications are at a stage of completion specified in the Agreement, such partially completed documents (the "Basis Documents") shall be provided to the CMR, together with the A/E's detailed listing of any material incomplete design elements and the A/E s statement of intended scope with respect to such incomplete elements (the "Design Intent Statement"). The CMR shall submit to the Owner and the A/E their proposed Guaranteed Maximum Price (the "Contract Sum") and its qualifications and assumptions based upon the Basis Documents and the Design Intent Statement. The CMR, the Owner and the A/E (along with selected engineers and consultants) shall meet to reconcile any questions, discrepancies or disagreements relating to the qualifications and assumptions, the Basis Documents or the Design Intent Statement. The reconciliation shall be documented by an addendum to the qualifications and assumptions that shall be approved in writing by the Owner, the A/E and the CMR. The CMR shall then submit to the Owner, for approval, the CMR's proposed final Contract Sum based upon the Basis Documents, the approved qualifications and assumptions and the Design Intent Statement.
